introduction: ischemia/reperfusion (ir) injury involves a complex interrelated sequence of events. high levels of nitric oxide (no) are generated with inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (inos) leading to the renal ir injury and glutathione (gsh) depletion. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of l-nil (n6- (1-iminoethyl)-l- lysine.hydrochloride), a selective inhibitor o...

conclusions pretreatment with epo and application of ipc significantly ameliorated the renal injury induced by bilateral renal ir. however, both treatments attenuated renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in kidney tissues. there were no significant differences between pretreatment with epo or application of ipc. materials and methods twenty four male wistar rats were allocated into four exper...

introduction: ischemia-reperfusion (ir) injury involves a complex, interrelated sequence of events. generation of reactive oxygen species (ros) especially superoxide anion, during ir is reported. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of mn (iii) tetrakis (4- benzoic acid) porphyrin (mntbap), an active, stable, nontoxic, and cell permeable sod (super oxide dismutase) mimetic i...

The pathophysiology of multiple disease states, including sepsis,1,2 hypertension,1 atherosclerosis,3–5 and ischemiareperfusion injury,6 is characterized by loss of the endothelial barrier function leading to the accumulation of plasma-borne proteins, tissue edema, and cell death. Importantly therapeutic strategies that inhibit loss of endothelial barrier function have been associated with stra...

conclusions treatment with epo and mel had a beneficial effect on renal ir injury. the results may also indicate that mel protects against morphological damage better than epo in renal ir injury. results ischemia-reperfusion significantly decreased the observed hb and hct values. the histopathological findings in the ir group confirmed that there was an increase in the hyaline cast and thickeni...

The incidence and severity of primary cardiac events are inversely related to the plasma concentration of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). We investigated whether HDLs may exert a direct cardioprotection in buffer-perfused isolated rat hearts, which underwent a 20-minute low-flow ischemia followed by a 30-minute reperfusion. The administration of HDLs at physiological concentrations (0.5 and 1...
